Definitely too sweet! This is one of the better, simpler recipes for non-custard style ice cream, though. I read many comments and didn't even try to add the cup of sugar. To simplify things, I put in 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk, no sugar (a can of SCM has about 22g of sugar, about 1/4 a cup), and substituted a pint of half & half for a pint of milk, i.e. 4 c. milk (might do even more next time; heavy cream leaves a film in my mouth, but straight milk makes for more "ice milk" than ice cream). Very easy to halve this recipe if you need to.

I had a sweet tooth for some vanilla ice cream yesterday, so i found this recipe and it seemed a bit unusual using evaporated milk and condensed milk,.... anyway long story short... NO.... it does not work, it never really freezes and it has a odd texture... sooo there are no short cuts for making ice cream.

I love this. Very simple, and my kids love it to. I followed a few other reviews and reduced the sugar content and used some half and half and some milk. I also added 1/3 cup if coco, and used 1 tsp vanilla. My ten year old said it is the best chocolate ice cream he has ever had.

FANTASTIC!!! A few important things to note: check your ice cream maker as this recipe makes a lot of ice cream. I cut the recipe in half and it was still too much for our maker. I made the mix in a pitcher and just poured the appropriate amount in the mixer, leaving the rest in the pitcher to make another small batch later. Second, I used 2/3 heavy cream and 1/3 2% milk. Other reviewers mentioned they had ice crystals, but I did not have that problem. Right out of the ice cream maker, it was a bit like soft serve so I put the canister in the freezer for a few hours and wound up with some amazingly creamy and delicious ice cream! I also threw a small handful of chocolate chips in during the last 5 minutes of mixing, but I think miniature chips would be better. This is now my go-to vanilla ice cream recipe! YUMMY!!!

I am not sure if it is me and what I call ice cream, but bleh bleh bleh. I has the consistency and taste of coolwhip. When I mixed everything together it filled not even 1/2 of make ice cream maker. by the time it was done, it was to the top. Maybe I prefer "Ice Milk" it left a gross aftertaste too.
